Understanding Self-Regulated Learning

What it is and how it can be encouraged in the Primary School classroom

slide-2
SLIDE 2

Pre-requisites for Self-Regulated Learning (SRL)

Motivation Fulfilled lower order needs Goals – setting, monitoring, reflecting Positive self belief

slide-3
SLIDE 3

Motivation

Intrinsic motivation

Pursuing a task for personal interest or curiosity, whether inherent or internalised

(Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 353)

Self determination theory

Humans are inherently active [and] intrinsically motivated (Deci & Ryan, 2012, p. 3)

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

 Students must have physiological and safety needs

met before they will take further developmental risks

(Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 357) Image: Heffner, 2002

 Students will then

strive to attain higher

  • rder needs

SLIDE 5

SMART goals

Specific

Have clear instructions regarding expectations

Measurable

Show visible differences in quality or quantity

Achievable

Provide realistic challenges

Relevant

Make sense to student

Time-framed

Have realistic deadlines

(adapted from Macquarie University, n.d.)

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Beliefs about self

Epistemological

Believing learning is understanding

Ability

Believing ability is unstable and controllable

Attribution

Taking responsibility for results

Efficacy

Assessing competence for tasks

Worth

Comfortable taking risks

Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, pp. 364-6)

Self-Regulated Learning Cycle

With constant metacognitive monitoring, tasks and goals are redefined, tactics and strategies adapted and modified.

Adapted from (Winne & Hadwin, 1998, pp. 282-5)

Identify and define task Set goals and devise plans Implement learning tactics and strategies

Regulate learning

Characteristics of Self-Regulated Learners

Approach tasks confidently and methodically

Aware of skills, proactive in skills mastery

Overcome obstacles to learning

Take initiative and control (Zimmerman, 1990, p. 4, 13, 14)

High self-efficacy (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 368)

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Allow autonomy

Involve students in social and learning decision making (setting class rules, following own inquiry path) (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 384)

Authentic learning experiences

relate instruction to students’ personal experiences and expectations (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p.

384)

Progressive feedback

Promote success and efficacy (Niemiec & Ryan, 2009, p. 139)

Supporting development of SRL

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Developing emotional self regulation

Teach coping strategies to build resilience

(Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 160)

Guide goal setting to small, achievable steps (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 379)

Maintain positive emotional relationship

Variety

Surprise

Physical activity (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p. 379)

Reduce graded tests (evaluative pressure)

(Niemiec & Ryan, 2009, p. 139)

Technology and SRL

 Fosters autonomy

students make decisions about learning direction and pace (Gimbert & Cristol, 2004, p. 207)

 Increases attention span, persistence,

independent exploration (Couse & Chen, 2010, p. 93)

 Provides swift progression feedback (Gimbert & Cristol,

2004, p. 208)

 Reduces requirement for direct supervision

teachers can spend more time with every student (Talley, Lancy & Lee, 1997, p. 126)
